Mr. Speaker, as is most of what the member says in the House, that is complete hogwash. The Leader of the Opposition has security clearance. He is a member of the Privy Council of Canada. He has had security clearance since he was sworn in as a minister of the Crown.
Having said that, as the Leader of the Opposition, his job is to hold the government to account. In this situation, the government is trying to find a way to silence him. That is why it wants him to have a briefing where he cannot disclose the information. The Conservative leader has said very clearly that the government should release the names of anyone involved; however, as always, the government refuses to be accountable and to do just that. I say shame on the government.
